Therapists in Austin, TX

Congratulations on taking the first step towards healing! I know the healing process can be uncomfortable, I am here to support you through it. My goal is to help you feel comfortable expressing yourself, processing situations and emotions that may be difficult, and learning new skills to get you to where you want to be. I welcome individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, life-transitions, as well as a variety of other stressors.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in TX as well as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in NM. I graduated from a CACREP accredited Counseling and Educational Psychology program. I have experience working with all types of mental health disorders in various settings (individual, group, couples, family); more specifically working with any issues of depression, anxiety, stress, grief, career and life changes, relationship issues, substance misuse, and any trauma (emotional, sexual, physical). I approach a therapeutic relationship as an equal relationship and always in a non judgmental and safe environment.

Do you feel lost, uncertain, or alone? Maybe you’ve been struggling to feel connected – both to yourself and others? Navigating these challenges can be scary, exhausting, and might leave you feeling hopeless, but the good news is… you’ve made it here, and I want to help. Together we can safely explore the past, learn to stay mindful in the present, and work to improve your future. I welcome college students and adults who face a range of issues such as anxiety, perfectionism, grief and loss, relationship challenges, attachment trauma, life transitions, and poor self-esteem.

As a licensed LPC therapist, I have four years of experience working with adolescents and adults experiencing issues with trauma, anxiety, inter-relational conflicts, and other mental health struggles. I have a Master of Arts in Counseling from St. Edward's University, and am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). Throughout my career, I’ve worked with clients who have experienced abuse, sexual assault, drug addiction, and violence to help them process their traumas and reclaim their lives.

I have experience working in community-based, outpatient and inpatient Mental Health Settings. I have a passion for working with young and older adults in order to assist them on their journey to wellness. I have experience working with adolescents and adults utilizing interventions from cognitive-behavioral therapy, strengths-based, solution-focused approaches, and mindfulness practices.

The foundation of my approach is curiosity. My individual therapy style is relational, nurturing, and insightful. Whether working with young people or adults, I strive to provide them with individual tools to transform into more openhearted and authentic versions of themselves. My maxim: You can heal so many parts of your life by approaching it with a curious heart and open mind.

These are unprecedented times. You may find your usual ways of coping with stress and uncertainty are no longer helping you. Moonstone Counseling is here to support you, whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, or any other emotional issue. COVID-19 has challenged us to seek support in new and unconventional ways. We offer in-person and teletherapy sessions to people who need an outlet and guide during this global pandemic. We are here to help you through this tough time.

As a relational therapist, I believe subconscious beliefs and programming are responsible for many of our self-sabotaging behaviors. These impact our relationships and are typically inherited during our upbringing. I choose to work with clients who are struggling with the same patterns that have plagued them for far too long, and who are looking to make a serious change in their lives. I also work with clients who are simply feeling lost and looking for guidance in finding themselves. My ideal client is anyone looking to empower themselves and care for themselves, or their relationship mind, body, and soul.

Listening, empowering & being present with my clients is what I am passionate about. I have about 7 years of counseling & clinical experience.My clinical experience includes working with children, adolescents & individuals all ages including geriatrics. Some of the therapeutic modalities I have used with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, traumas or other mental health issues are Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Strength Based Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Trauma Focused therapy. I don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach. I will help guide you & assist you in coming up with strategies to help conquer your life.

As a therapist with 25 years of experience and extensive training, I understand the complexities of suffering and the healing process. Professional peers have described me as "exceptionally attuned," "warmly down to earth" and "to the point." I offer a compassionate, accepting, and wise presence to the therapy relationship. Because this relationship is paramount to your therapy experience, I offer a free initial consultation so that we can meet. I believe that human beings have an amazing ability to gain insight and create change in their lives and am dedicated to this process for clients, myself and all beings.

We can’t get around suffering sometimes in this life, but we can learn to live with dignity and grace, and we can know joy. Whether you are having questions of a spiritual nature, feeling stuck in your life, or needing to be free of deep and abiding pain, I stand ready to walk with you on the path of healing. I can say this with confidence because I have made this journey myself. My own experience with therapy helped me to understand that human beings are not machines that break and need to be fixed. They are beings that course correct; they mold and are molded by their environment.

I will help you reduce your anxiety and teach you how to manage your overthinking. I use a variety of modalities, including narrative therapy, mindfulness, and inner child work. I'll help you become aware of your thinking. Once we know the triggers that produced those negative, intrusive thoughts, we will examine why our conscious thoughts provoke such big emotions. These big emotions over "little" things are often rooted in how we respond to not being heard, seen, or good enough as a child. We will dismantle archetypes we've developed as adults to cope with the pain of not being enough and focus on becoming our authentic selves.

I work with high achievers/professionals who are struggling with life stressors, mental health issues, or both. Some reasons individuals commonly seek therapy with me are relationship issues, work stress/burnout, difficulties balancing work and parenting, loneliness, lack of fulfillment, alcohol abuse, mood issues, and anxiety. Together we will identify clear goals, and implement skills and practical steps to help you move forward. My practice is structured for extra privacy and flexibility with treatment.

Accepting new clients – Welcome, I've practiced psychotherapy for over 20 years and invite you to explore more about my approach here. If you find that you're interested in working together, please send an email. Perhaps you're reaching out because life's stressors have become overwhelming, relationships are challenging, or symptoms are too intense to handle alone. I specialize in depth-oriented therapy for adults facing personal, professional, or family challenges. I also support those who feel generally resilient and successful but are navigating significant stress.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life? Do you find yourself having more bad days than good days? Do you feel like you're stuck in your head, being pushed around by negative thoughts and emotions, or engaging in the same self-destructive patterns, while life passes you by? I believe that all of us have an inner source of wisdom and strength that we can learn to listen to in order to cultivate a life full of meaning and purpose. I specialize in LGBT issues, mood disorders (such as depression or anger issues), anxiety, and chronic pain management.

The negative thoughts in your head are so loud. Feeling inadequate, unworthy, and “never enough” you struggle to connect with others. Anxiety and stress feel like a regular part of your life and you don’t know how to break the cycle of negative thoughts and actions. Minimizing your experience, you think, “I don’t have it that bad,” but you can’t shake it off any longer. The more you push your feelings down, the more they bubble up in other ways. Feeling isolated, stretched too thin, and overwhelmed you’ve finally made it here to look for support. Simply wishing things are different is not enough.

Do you feel exhausted, overworked, and under appreciated? Perhaps you believe that if you are just the perfect partner, parent, child, sibling, or employee that you will no longer feel this way. However, the burnout is becoming extreme, and you desperately want to feel differently. Maybe you are an empath who worries that you are “too sensitive”, or have an anxious attachment style and fear being considered “too needy”, or a perfectionist who worries that you will never be worthy of the joy, peace, and love that you see others experiencing. Or perhaps you are a people-pleaser wondering if anyone will every truly know the real you.
